Build: The Chicken

This robot was built using mainly the parts from the base MINDSTORMS kit, and can imitate a chicken in the following ways:

1. This robot can sit there and do nothing, staring off into another world.

2. This robot can "scratch" at the ground like a chicken might.

3. This robot can flap its wings when it feels like it.

4. This robot can lay one egg (the big red DUPLO ball included in the base MINDSTORMS kit).

5. This robot can flap its wings, lay an egg, and spin in circles (simultaneously) whenever its color sensor detects something yellow, like corn or a yellow LEGO piece.

Best of all, this robot can do it all as randomly as a chicken would, doing whatever it wants to until it's time to recharge.

Here is a video where I show off all of the robot's functions in more detail, as well as the instructions to build and program the robot:
